NEP vs SCO Match Preview:
Nepal national cricket team will face Scotland national cricket team in 107th ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup League 2 match at Tribhuvan University International Cricket Ground on Monday, May 18, 2026. This contest holds major importance for both sides after their dramatic previous meeting at the same venue. At the start of the series, Scotland survived a tense 2-run DLS win, and Nepal will now aim to respond strongly in home conditions. Meanwhile, Scotland will look to continue their momentum and consolidate their position in the League 2 standings.
In their last encounter, Scotland scored 243/8 in 50 overs as George Munsey scored 75 off 62 balls at the top of the order. However, Nepal made a brilliant comeback through Sandeep Lamichhane, who bowled an excellent spell of 4/41 to slow down the Scottish scoring rate. After the chase was reduced to 221 runs in 39 overs due to rain, Nepal made a strong counterattack. Gulshan Jha played a sensational unbeaten inning of 61 runs in just 35 balls, while Deependra Singh Airi scored 55 runs to keep the hosts in the contest. Nevertheless, Bradley Currie handled the pressure brilliantly and took 3 for 43 to give Scotland a close victory. Mark Watt also contributed effectively by taking two important wickets during the chase.
As a result, Nepal are going into this match determined to take advantage of the familiar home conditions and turn their recent battle into a winning performance. Captain Rohit Paudel will be hoping for another strong contribution from the middle order along with a Lamichhane-led spin attack. Scotland, on the other hand, will once again rely on the aggressive batting of George Munsey and the disciplined bowling of Currie and Watt. Since the Kirtipur surface generally favors spin and rewards smart variations, both teams will focus more on controlling the middle overs. Hence, another close encounter is expected as both the sides continue their quest for valuable points in the tournament.
